I'm trying to colorize my man pages. I'd been using most as my pager to get this, but I decided to switch over to less and just use less termcap settings to get the same effect. I changed it over successfully on my systems where I use bash as my default shell, but I'm stuck as to how to do it with fish. Nothing I try seems to work.
On bash, I was able to just put the following in my .profile LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[1;31m'; export LESS_TERMCAP_md LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[1;32m'; export LESS_TERMCAP_us In fish, this quoting style isn't there, and I'm not quite clear on what it does in bash, so I'm having a difficult time replicating the effect. The closest I could figure was not doing any quotes and just escaping all the funny characters: set -U LESS_TERMCAP_us \e\[1\x3B32m set -U LESS_TERMCAP_md \e\[1\x3B31m I can see these entries in the output of set with no arguments, but when use less there's no effect. Does anyone have any ideas? -Stephen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
